On June 16th, 2020 a ceremony was held on the Riverbank to introduce the new Indigenous People of Prince Albert & Area Interpretive Walk signage along the Rotary Trail that offer an introduction to the six Prince Albert & Area Indigenous groups: the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Swampy Cree, Dakota, Dene, and Métis.

Willie Ermine the Plains Cree Knowledge Keeper shares a brief story from the Plains Cree.
Each of the 6 signs tells a breig of the history from each Nation in English and  each Indigenous Group traditional language and their relationship to Kistapinanihk (gathering place).

The project was guided by the First Nations and Métis Knowledge Keepers from each Indigenous group in our City.  The project was organized by the Prince Albert Historical Society, Municipal Cultural Action Plan, the City of Prince Albert & the Prince Albert Downtown Business Improvement District.  

A special thank you to the organizations that funded this project: the Northern Lights Community Development Corporation and the 
Municipal Cultural Action Plan.
Closing prayer from Dr. Leo Omani.
